someone else would be given the contract
to do So. Something will also be done
soon in the way of wharf improvement.

The following action taken by the
Western States Passenger Association in ses-

age tickets will be read with interest by COM
mercial travellers and others using such
tickets:
WHEREAS. The issue and use OF mileage tick
cts have been demonstrated to be productive of
much detrment to the railway companies and
liable TO much abuse, and many OF the roads
are opposed 10 their continuance, but inasmuch
as they have been n convenience to some OF the
patrons OF railways; therefore, resolUed, that
we will for the present continue their issue
as experiment upon the following
conditions: That each ticket shall be re-
stricted TO use by the person whose
name shall be entered upon tho ticket,
shall be sold at a uniform rate q not less than
90 cents per mile and without rebate. That
each book shall be good for 900 miles, no more
nor less, and it's validity shall be limited TO one
year from date OF sale. Baggage allowance TO
bo the same as for regular travellers.
This is scarcely concession on the part of
the railroads. Between most through points
the regular fare is but little if any over 216
cents per mile, and, consequently the passen-
ger will save but little by buying thousand
mile tickets
